<bp> Mastering cognitive-behavior therapy for the common, yet difficult-to-treat aspects of severe mental illness has now been made easier with Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Severe Mental Illness. This practical and insightful guide distills into one volume CBT techniques for individual therapy and video demonstrations on DVD that illustrate how these techniques can be used to tackle a wide range of severe clinical problems. The authors provide a host of functional strategies for treating patients with schizophrenia, bipolar disorder, and treatment-refractory depression. Their easy-to-read guide promotes practitioners skill building including how to design useful interventions, provide effective psychoeducation, and engage patients in effective therapeutic relationships. Authoritative and engaging, the authors cover specific symptoms in detail, outlining methods to promote treatment adherence and to help patients prevent relapse, reduce delusional thinking, cope with hallucinations, solve problems unresponsive to medication, and cope with dysfunctional relationships. The eighteen videos depict CBT in action, demonstrating such scenarios as tracing origins of paranoia and formulating an antisuicide plan. Featuring learning exercises, worksheets, and checklists, the book is an ideal companion to the authors widely used text Learning Cognitive-Behavior Therapy, building on its critically acclaimed methodology to offer proven guidelines for effective treatment.

An ideal and highly recommended instructional reference for psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and others,
By Midwest Book Review (Oregon, WI USA) - See all my reviews
This review is from: Cognitive-Behavior Therapy for Severe Mental Illness (Paperback)
Even with the impressive advances of medications for chronic mental illness disorders, 'talk therapy' and behavioral conditioning play immensely relevant and critically important aspects of treatment programs. "Cognitive-Behavior Therapy For Severe Mental Illness: An Illustrated Guide" by the team of mental health professionals Jesse H. Wright, Douglas Turkington, David G. Kingdon, and Monica Ramirez Basco provides students and practitioners with a compendium of practical, illustrated information and applicable, illustrative insights into CBT techniques when working with schizophrenic, bipolar, and treatment-resistant depression cases. Enhanced with an accompanying DVD, and a core addition to academic library Psychiatry/Psychology collections, "Cognitive-Behavior Therapy For Severe Mental Illness" is an ideal and highly recommended instructional reference for psychiatrists, clinical psychologists, and others in the mental health field.
